I didn't know the military meaning of this, as in:"The Marines charge the wastebaskets as if they were Nip pillboxes, and Lieutenant Ethridge seems mollified." Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, p 189 of the Avon Books paperback edition

"'Certainly this season we see a trend towards refined dressing so the pillbox and cocktail-style hats are very relevant,' Judy Coomber, Myer's director of apparel, says. 'The pillbox hat was a huge trend in the 1960s and this season there are many interpretations from sweet, refined, petite shapes to more exaggerated, grander styles.'"- Tim Elliot, Spring and racing carnival hats are in the air, theage.com.au, 21 August 2009.
